Adopt with guardrails

Why: Backed by primary Microsoft docs with strong measured outcomes (99% registration, 14x faster sign-in), but synced passkeys lack attestation and the silent auto-default change demands proactive profile configuration to avoid an unplanned security-posture shift.
Next: Opt in early and explicitly configure passkey profiles before the auto-enablement window; decide attestation posture per user group (device-bound+attestation for privileged users, synced for general workforce) rather than inheriting auto-populated defaults.
